Happy new year everyone! I'm looking for some guidance (again) and figured this would probably be a good place for that. I'll give a short outline of basically what my application would be (minus the PS) and what my dilemma is. GPA Stuff GPA: 3.988 sGPA: 4.000 MCAT: 518 LizzyM: 75.9 WARS: 85...

Hi all, Looking for some guidance on what to do moving forward. I’m in my final year of undergrad and recently got my MCAT score back (518). I have an LM 75.9 and WARS 85, conservatively. The 2017 WARS doc gave me an S level rating and recommended I make 45% of my applications to Category 1...

I have reviewed Americorp's website but I haven't heard from anyone - whether applicant or adcom - about the program: whether participants had a good experience, what to watch out for when applying, how medical school adcoms perceive the program. I am planning to take two gap years (one will...

I was accepted to NHC Philly and it sets to start late August, but I'm in California so I just don't know if it's worth travelling across the country. If anyone is in the program, I would appreciate some insights on housing, stipend and such.

I did AmeriCorps for a gap year and am wondering if it would be listed as a job or community service (in the Activities section)? Thanks so much for any input!

I graduated from college this year and am planning to apply to medical school in the next cycle for matriculation in 2018. I was applying and interviewing for positions to take after I take the MCAT late August this year, and I recently got an invitation to serve with AmeriCorps NCCC...

Hi everyone, this is my first post here, but I've been reading quite a bit and haven't seen a thread asking quite this question. Basically, I am graduating in May and have decided I want to take a gap year--I applied to med school but only got into one school. I really want to go to...

I am applying next cycle (2016 for Fall 2017 matriculation). I would likely be submitting applications in June but working under Americorps throughout that year. I was hoping to write about it on secondaries and include it on planned activities. Do you think schools look favorably upon this...
